Genuine answer: It's a fine line. In order to do stuff like that in a way that's non-offensive you have to subtly clue people in that you're not implying the other person is inferior for sounding weird, they just sound funny to you, which is too hard to pull off to be worth doing Jokey answer: Of course, everyone knows you can't be racist against white people

I wonder what the ratio of people genuinely offended at a joke about their own accent versus white people offended on their behalf is.

I am half-Jewish and Watto from Star Wars doesn't offend me one bit. In fact, the Holocaust is probably slightly above 3 on my 0 to 10 offensiveness scale. Watto is barely 0.1.

Wait, people are saying Watto was a Jewish stereotype? I didn't even realize, that's how much of a non-issue that was Anyway if I had to declare myself racist against one group it'd definitely be Scandinavians

Watto was the middle eastern merchant guy caricature that has been in Hollywood movies for nearly a century.

It's a good thing the Naboo didn't practice Gungan slavery or things might've gotten awkward.

Exactly. It's just an old Hollywood trope. I guess you could argue that its a little insensitive but I wouldn't classify it as racism.

It's a false equivalence because the sand people were legitimate natives.

You know what? I think people saying Watto sucks because he is a dumb sterotype and the people who are saying that Watto wasn't even a noticeable factor in a movie as loving abysmal as Episode 1 the Phantom Menace are both 100% correct
